    Funny, though, that this issue with cooling problems is a long known issue in all things space. This should be obvious to anyone who has seen the cooling fans (infrared radiator plates) of the ISS. And they try to be very, wery careful with creating waste heat.

    Maybe Elon should ask someone who actually knows something about space instead of an AI. I mean, this guy has a f-ing company that sends rockets into space. Someone there must be capable to do an ELI5 on that topic, so even Elon can understand it.

      He doesn’t want to understand it. He wants to break through it and some sleazy and/or desperate engineers are telling him everything he wants to hear. They understand that it’s impossible but they also understand that if they don’t cater to his fragile ego they’ll be looking for a new job and no job will ever pay more.

      Elon legitimately believes that nothing is impossible because his entire life he’s been able to pay other people to fix his problems for him and he can’t handle the idea that he’s not the most special important smartest boy.

        Unfortunately for him, ambition is all well and good but we obey the laws of physics in this universe.

          The funny thing is I’m pretty sure he could have achieved a lot more with the space stuff if he wasn’t so deadset on grandstanding and picking up irrelevant bullshit.

            Exactly, he actually kind of was heading in the right direction but when you end up mentally stuck at age 12 it will never be enouh.
